MCE vs TiVohttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/draper/archive/2004/12/21/328308.aspxOk, I’ve got my new MCE box up and running and connected to my living room via my X-Box Media Center Extender . General impressions: My wife and I purchased an 80 hour TiVo Series 2 a number of months back for $299 at our local Fry’s electronics.

When you give the win to mce for cost because tivo has a monthly charge you are dead wrong. If I bought a tivo with lifetime service I would be looking at $400 compared to the $2000+ for a mce machine. Also you left out that that tv on a mce machine looks like ass. The picture quality is garbage compared to a tivo. I know the higher quality monitor has a lot to do with it, but when you output the signal to a tv, it still looks like ass. Also you did not mention that if you are programming the mce to record a show, you have to leave the computer on. As we all know computers are louder and use up more power than a tivo. <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=330149" width="1" height="1">
